Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Purple yam (ube), peeled and diced
- 1 cup Banana (preferably saba or plantain), sliced
- 1 cup Taro root, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Young coconut meat, sliced
- 2 cups Pure coconut milk
- 2 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Date syrup
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a large pot, combine coconut milk and water, and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, purple yam, taro root, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until the root vegetables begin to soften.
Add the sliced banana and young coconut meat to the pot. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the bananas are tender.
Stir in the date syrup for a hint of natural sweetness. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary, ensuring it complies with Whole30 guidelines.
Sprinkle chia seeds into the pot, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
Simmer the mixture for an additional 5-10 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together while the chia seeds slightly thicken the mixture.
Once the mixture is thick and creamy, remove it from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm in bowls, optionally garnishing with additional slices of banana or a sprinkle of chia seeds for texture.
